Happy 4th of July….reminder, it’s Thursday! 

I know you’re losing track of your days at this point after getting loaded last night fully thinking it was Friday night. Let me also remind you that you will suffer a great loss of world ranking points in the TNML if you pull a stunt like the asshole neighbor last night who decided to do a full mow and blow stunt last night as we were having a 4th of July bash in our yard. 

I’m talking a zero turn mower full bore running over weeds and sticks and trash that’s piled up in his mother’s yard. Then the blower for 30 minutes. 

Total asshole behavior when it’s barely rained around here in a month. 

Anyway, we had a great party with 12-14 kids in the pool at one time, 10 adults on the two levels of the patio, the new Weber performed perfectly, the new patio table gave us the room we needed for the growing number of people who are coming over and there were no tears or injuries. 

Then it was down to the Maumee River where, in 1813, American soldiers held off British scumbags, for fireworks on a blazing hot evening.

I’m not going to lie, I’m beat this morning, but there are fireworks to blast off tonight, and I must give it my all for those who came before who gave us the right to live in the greatest country in the world.

Hope all is well for you and your family. Happy 4th of July. 

We are hanging out down in the South of France. You are probably writing right now. I am 3 tall boys in. Will be firing up the grill with a giant skirt steak I found at a butcher down here. Making a chimichurri for it and a big potato salad. 

We are hanging by the pool listening to yacht rock on XM radio. Thank God for VPNs. Thunder island came on and I thought of you. 

Have a happy independence day in the greatest country that there has ever been.

That’s it this morning. I need to get ice, figure out what I’m going to grill (steak), get the pool up to temperature, maybe watch a little bit of the Tour de France on the patio just for the scenery and then have a relaxing 4th. 

Have a great day. Don’t blow off your fingers. #staysafe and no matter what, never forget how lucky we are to call this land home.
